Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition- Las Vegas, NV
o
•
The fountains put on their show -- wonderfully timed to music choreography -every 15 minutes or so after dark and last for a few minutes. It's very pretty and
lasts for the duration of the song. Stay for many other songs, especially the
Michael Jackson one. The water streams move in the Jackson way. Don't go on
high wind day, not only you get wet, the show may be stopped for that reason.
There is plenty to see at the Bellagio, so time your visit so that you can pick up at
least two fountain displays.
Train buffs will love this museum which features a diverse collection of
photographs and artifacts that trace Nevada's railroad history. Highlights include
a 19th-century rail equipment exhibit and five steam locomotives.
Stewart Indian Cultural Center- Carson City, NV

Once a school that taught Native Americans how to get along in "the white man's
world," this cultural center now houses a fascinating collection of Native
American art including the work of photographer E.S. Curtis
